Dive center

Sogod Bay in Southern Leyte offers wonderful scuba diving with spectacular dive sites in one of the Philippines' most recently discovered dive destinations.

The prolific marine life ranges from pygmy seahorses through to whale sharks and there is also an incredible variety of extremely healthy and undamaged hard and soft coral. Sogod Bay offers a plethora of pristine reefs and our dive boat will probably be the only one at any given site dived during your stay. Indeed, much of the Sogod Bay area is essentially virgin territory; as a result, we are still discovering new dive sites. You can experience all this in a beautiful and peaceful tropical setting and truly relax and enjoy your holiday – without fighting with hoards of other divers!

We offer daily fun dives and trips for certified scuba divers and snorkelers. We also provide PADI scuba diver training courses from complete beginner through to PADI Divemaster. If you have never tried diving before you can start with a PADI Discover Scuba Dive, or an Open Water Course. If you are already certified and want to continue your development we can offer the PADI Advanced course, Rescue Diver or even Specialties such as Deep Diver or Enriched Air Nitrox.

What to expect

The PADI Open Water Diver course consists of three main phases. The first is Knowledge Development, which covers everything you need to know about basic techniques, terminology and safety procedures in scuba diving. The second is Confined Water Dives, which are training sessions conducted in a pool or water with pool-like conditions. They give you the opportunity to get used to the gear you'll be using and practice the basic skills of diving and techniques to keep you safe. The third is your Open Water Dives. This is what it's all about - you'll make your first dives in the ocean! During four dives, you'll perform various skills under water and on the surface to make sure you're a safe and competent diver. The training portion usually only takes up the first part of the dive, meaning that you will get to spend a big part of your time diving with your instructor and exploring the underwater world. As soon as your open water training dives are approved by your instructor you will be certified as a PADI Open Water Diver! This means you will be allowed to rent diving equipment and dive anywhere in the world down to 18 meters, lifelong!
